“…The third most common measure was the sieve method 15,22,44,47,51,52,55,72,75,76 . This method requires subjects to chew a bolus of food for a certain number of cycles which is then passed through a sieve containing single or multiple apertures.…”

Background: Masticatory dysfunction impacts food selection, nutritional intake and social activities; all of which play a vital role to ensure good general health and quality of life. Despite the rapidly ageing population, there is limited evidence regarding the risk factors that lead to masticatory dysfunction in older adults or protective factors which may help maintain masticatory ability. Furthermore, there is currently no consensus for a specific test which measures masticatory ability. Objectives:The objectives of this scoping review are to identify the risk and protective factors associated with masticatory dysfunction and determine the most commonly used objective measure of masticatory performance.Design: A scoping review was performed using the PRISMA recommendations. MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched.Seventy-eight articles were included in this review. There were six randomised controlled trials, six interventional studies, one systematic review, one quasi-experimental study, five prospective cohort studies, 58 cross-sectional studies and one casecontrol study. Data were analysed for frequency of studies reporting on risk factors, protective factors and/or objective measures of masticatory performance.Results: This scoping review identified tooth loss as the most common risk factor for masticatory dysfunction. Other notable risk factors included musculoskeletal conditions such as frailty and sarcopenia, cognitive decline and malnutrition. Additionally, the review identified that the presence or addition of teeth was the main protective factor. Other protective factors included denture maintenance via liners and adhesives, textured foods, and oral exercises. Chewing gum was the most common objective measure of masticatory function, followed by the occlusal force and sieve methods.Conclusions: This scoping review found that there was limited evidence for a causal link between each of the risk factors and masticatory dysfunction or the protective factors and the maintenance of masticatory ability in older adults. Establishing a standard method for measuring masticatory performance such as the commonly used chewing gum method and encouraging clinicians to routinely measure masticatory function will enable comparisons across multiple risk and protective factors, improving the evidence base and contributing to better patient care.

A complete denture is defined as a 'dental prosthesis which replaces entire dentition and associated structures of the maxilla and mandible'. Functions of complete Dentures include restoring aesthetics, mastication, and speech. When all the teeth within a jaw have been lost and need to be replaced, and it is an exclusively tissue-supported prosthesis if implants are not indicated. Tooth loss can occur due to many reasons, such as Dental caries, Periodontal disease, Trauma and Congenital disorders. So the aim of the study was to evaluate the ratio between the female and male patients in receiving the complete denture in dental college and Hospitals. Data of 423 patients records were and retrieved from total data of 86000 patients who visited between June 2019 and March 2020. The study parameters such as age, gender and patients who received complete denture were recorded and converted into excel sheets for tabulation, and the collected data were entered in SPSS and through Chi-square test. Results from the study revealed that prevalence among the males was 59.8% and among the females was 40.2%; distribution of complete denture among various age groups revealed 85.1% above 50 years and 14.9% below 50 years. The association between the age groups and the frequency of gender revealed Pearson Chi-Square Value-0.005;p<0.05 Hence statistically significant. The study showed that male patients and patients above 50 years were more likely to be delivered with a complete denture. The study revealed the male predominance due to their poor oral hygiene.

“…Periodontal mechanoreceptors are neural receptors that help the masticatory muscles contract and work together. Therefore, the loss of sensory feedback and subsequent muscle atrophy following tooth loss reduced the ability to masticate [ 23 ].…”

Chewing Efficiency Test in Subjects with Clear Aligners

et al. 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the masticatory function of subjects with clear aligners and to propose a simple and repeatable method for the clinical and experimental evaluation of masticatory function. For the testing we used almonds, a natural substance that can be easily found and stored, has intermediate consistency and hardness, is insoluble in saliva, and has the ability easily lose the moisture absorbed in the mouth. Thirty-four subjects using the Invisalign® (Align Technology, Santa Clara, CA, USA) protocol were randomly selected. This was an “intercontrol test”, i.e., all subjects under the same conditions acted as controls but also as cases whilst wearing the clear aligners. Patients were asked to chew an almond for 20 s, once with aligners and once without aligners. The material was then dried, sieved, and weighted. Statistical analysis was performed to investigate any significative differences. In all our subjects, the efficiency of chewing with clear aligners was found to be comparable to the efficiency of chewing without clear aligners. In detail, the average weight after drying was 0.62 g without aligners and 0.69 g with aligners, while after sieving at 1 mm, the average weight was 0.08 g without aligners and 0.06 g with aligners. The average variation after drying was of 12%, and after sieving at 1 mm, it was 25%. In summary, there was no substantial difference between chewing with or without clear aligners. Despite some discomfort in chewing, the clear aligners were well tolerated by most subjects, who wore them without difficulty even during meals.

The Influence of Age, Gender, Mandibular Bone Height, Previous Experience with Prostheses, and Fabrication Methods on Masticatory Performance of Complete Denture Wearers

Abstract: Considering the limitations of this study, it was concluded that gender might be considered a risk factor for masticatory performance of CD wearers. Female patients demonstrated reduced masticatory performance in comparison to male patients.
